woof meow squeak BANG

Woof goes first. Attention people....My friend has a cat, dog, and child friendly eight year old medium sized dog that needs a home ASAP!!!! There isnt much time to wait. She is spayed and microchipped with HomeAgain. Must go NOW!!!

I agreed that I would take Lisa upon finding a job. Even a temporary house would work. If my dear friend is doing what she is supposed to, then I should be able to take her within two - three months. I know I have said I really want a puppy but puppies tend to get adopted in shelters. Dogs this age DO NOT!!!

Anyway...there is this male orange bi-color tomcat that seems to have tried to "adopt" my house. I have been trying to trap him to get him neutered (as he is spraying everywhere and fighting with neighborhood cats) and have him possibly released into a feral colony. He is NOT people friendly and typically strolls at night. If he is someones pet, too bad.

Supposed to go up and get "my" cat neutered. Whether I take him with me or not when I move is still a mystery. Just in my opinion, one less cat to father a population of thousands of cats that will be put down in Sacramento alone is totally worth the $20.

Speaking of adopting and finding homes, I have been debating on whether or not to give up my rats. It became a thing of "what happens happens" and if I found someone that wanted them, they could take em. Otherwise Id keep them. By the looks of it, I have found a home for them where they will be spending the rest of their lives with much more toys and soft beds. So Im gonna check out this place. Hope its all good. I dont mean to impose a sort of "give away animals and take more" but hey. I agreed to taking Tux, the cat, well before I had two months to find a job.

And now my teacher. Supposedly two people in her class have Ds and she would let us know who if we didnt get a grade. Fail enough as she is, apparently only 5 people got a grade and the others got theirs later. I dont understand why she cant send everyone a grade so we know its not a mistake...but whatever. I got a zero on online class discussion because I only did 90% of the work. As in I posted...but everyone after me posted at the last minute so I couldnt respond. Homework not posted when she promised (by Wednesday night) and fairly unorganized. Time to talk to the dean? I think so. Seems the entire English Reading department is screwed in the butt by her.

Thailand vs America unexpected racism

Recently I have been looking into new breeds that are sort of making their way into the US. One that is catching my eye these days is the Thai ridgeback as seen in this picture to your left. The Thai ridgeback is one of three dogs with a ridgeback (basically a line of fur on their back that grows the opposite way) with the others being Rhodesian ridgeback and the Phu Quoc ridgeback.

So why my interest in this specific ridgeback? Well, its reputation is rather good compared to a similar breed. Lets see.

This dog...

*is very family oriented and will put itself in front of family

*loves children

*can be aggressive and EXTREMELY dangerous if put in the wrong hands

*hard headed but with a firm hand, will be an extremely loyal dog

Huh...this seems a lot like America and Britains three dogs often seen as the most dangerous dogs in the world.

you bet

American Pit Bull Terrier

American Staffordshire Terrier

Staffordshire Bull Terrier (obviously from Britain as it doesnt have America stamped in front of it)

So why is it these terrier breeds are "dangerous" but not a Thai ridgeback that has the same qualities? Possibly because it is rare?

The most dangerous dog in the world (as told by government study) is the Dalmation. However, Dalmations are allowed in rental properties and will NOT raise your insurance. huh...

Oh and btw more people are bitten by labs than APBTs, a breed BANNED in countries.

talk about racism.

Now if you arent a dog person then you probably will freak out at the thought of ALL DOGS ARE DANGEROUS but its true. Dogs are a dangerous animal just like horses are a dangerous animal. The thing is with horses, we dont ASSuME that cold blooded horses (like Shires) are more dangerous than hot blooded horses (like arabs) and vice versa. Theyre the same animal and can kill you if in the wrong hands. Why do we assume this with dogs? Yes there are dogs that will lunge if their family is in danger but NO WELL TRAINED DOG WILL BITE UNLESS THREATENED!!!

Sheesh people. So Stupid.
